Both smart and compassionate, Dr Schweitzer explained all options to me before finalizing a treatment plan, and then performed dual toe fusion and anterior tibialis tendon rupture repair surgery on me in early December 23'. Recovery was so smooth that I was walking and playing leisurely pickleball at 6-weeks post-op. After six more weeks of gradually increasing activity, my foot feels Great! Thank you Dr. Karl.

I have seen this doctor as a referral and working with home about my care for three years.. I am very happy. He listens and believes what I am saying. He is procedural and I like that. Happy to have him working on my foot fusions. Honestly, don’t understand any complaints. He is personable, funny, and pays attention to my needs. I am looking for someone very qualified, he is, and listens to me.

This doctor was a waste of my time. He is not knowledgeable enough. He lacks genuine passion, and patient care and concern, so he just passes the buck, or he gives Convenient solutions, But they are not convenient for the patient only for him And he moves on to the next victim.

I was injured at work this past year and was referred out to this doctor. Dr. Schweitzer Jr., was very attentive to how important my job is and what I was expecting to be able to do when I got back to work after surgery. If there were any concernes I had, he had no issue with explaining. He did assessments in the room and was able to answer questions I had. He gave a listen to the prior interventions I had done before making the decision to go forward with surgery. My recovery has been well and I think it's fair to say I owe... read more

Horribly arrogant and condescending. He should have his license revoked. He saw me once, ordered no follow up tests, didn't even examine me while pushing HARD for me to have a surgery where they remove part of a bone. The entire conversation was riddled with mind-boggling rudeness. One of my favorites was when I asked if I had the surgery how long I should expect to not be able to walk or drive to which he replied "I don't know, I'm not the DMV; we don't clear people to drive." !?????? Also, my feet were cold and I went to s... read more

To put it as tactfully as possible, be aware that when you have foot surgery you may be trading one problem for another. In other words, the cure for one problem (e.g.,pain) may be the cause of another (e.g., deformity), which may be the more serious one in the long term. Be sure to ask Dr. Schweitzer about any negative consequences of the surgery and don't uncritically accept any sunny, glib responses.
